on behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed the optical transient of XRF 080109/SN 2008D in NGC 2770
(Berger, Soderberg, GCN 7159; Deng, Zhu, GCN 7160) on January 11,12,13 with
CrAO 2.6 telescope (ZTSh). On Jan. 11 observations were completed in BVRI
and on Jan. 12-13 in BR filters under good weather conditions.
Preliminary photometry of the transient XRF 080109/SN 2008D obtained after
galaxy subtracion and assuming reference stars from USNO-A2.0
1200-06240802, R=17.3, B=17.7 (the same star used in GCN 7162 (D'Elia et
al)):
Mid time (UT), Filter, magnutude
Jan. 12.04 B 18.63
Jan. 12.04 R 17.98
Jan. 13.01 B 18.74
Jan. 12.99 R 18.04
Jan. 13.93 B 18.84
Jan. 14.01 R 17.98
Typical statistical uncertainties of magnitude in the table above is better
than 0.01. Magnitudes are not corrected for Galaxy reddening.
Within our observations B magnitude is fading on Jan. 11-13, while the R
brightness has a minimum on the night on Jan. 12/13. Color (B-R) gradually
increasing from 0.65 (Jan. 12) to 0.86 (Jan. 14) which aslo may support of
SN dominance in light curve of the transient (Malesani et al. GCN 7184).
